The Maruti Suzuki Swift specifications reward a close read, because the engine and mileage are the real stars. The 1.2 litre Z-Series petrol makes 80.46 bhp and 111.7 Nm, light and free-revving in the way that suits the car. The spec sheet is where the Swift's fun character shows in numbers.
Gearbox choice runs to a 5 speed manual and a 5 speed AMT, with the CNG car adding its own AGS automatic. The AMT is unusual in that it reads more efficient than the manual on the rating. That makes the automatic an easy pick for city buyers.
On fuel, the petrol manual returns 24.8 kmpl and the AMT edges up to 25.75 kmpl, while the S-CNG jumps to 32.85 km/kg on both gearboxes. Those are strong numbers for a car this quick.
Dimensions keep the Swift compact and easy to thread through traffic, though the 265 litre boot is on the small side. Rear space suits two adults better than three. The low kerb weight is what makes the engine feel so lively. The turning circle is tight, which suits quick U-turns in crowded streets. The suspension is set slightly firm, giving the Swift its keen, planted feel through corners. Ground clearance still clears most speed breakers with ease.
Safety kit covers six airbags on the higher trims, ABS with EBD, ESP and a reverse camera further up the range. Read together, the numbers explain why the Swift stays fun without punishing your fuel budget. Next, check the Swift price in your city.
